Laurie Caswell Burke 

Laurie Caswell Burke's book Skinny Dipping with Loons, Uncommon Stories of the Everyday, is a collection of warm, personal, and humorous vignettes that "tap the emotional undercurrents of everyday events." Burke's stories and observations cover a broad spectrum of humbling and enlightening moments - whether as a young adult involved in college escapades, or as a parent navigating run-ins with teenage children, her stories reveal the connections that bind us to another and that form the narratives of our lives.

Burke received a master's degree in education from Harvard University and lives in Shelburne, with her husband, two daughters, and Labrador retriever.
